Industry Specialisations

The Industrial sector spans multiple sub-categories. While these are differentiated by technology, applications and products, one mega trend is changing the game across the board: the ‘internet of things’ or Industry 4.0. Both terms describe the merger of two evolutionary forces. Firstly, the machines, fleets and facilities born of a series of industrial revolutions. Secondly, IT, big data and the internet.

Agile and forward-looking organisations are innovatively combining these forces to connect machines, components and data systems along the entire value chain. Unprecedented levels of product customisation are already possible for the brightest and best players.

Meanwhile, two further shifts are compounding the challenges and opportunities of Industry 4.0: legislative intricacy and a rising world population.

This is nothing short of a fourth industrial revolution. Yet its progress is already being slowed by a C-level talent shortage. A new leadership profile is needed: able to transform complexity into opportunity across functional, geographical and conceptual borders. Whilst the call for such talent is on the rise globally, some regions, like Asia-Pacific, are experiencing a particularly steep scale of development.
